The values inherent in the ICP+P Psychoanalytic Training Program that Joe Lichtenberg created, emerged from his immersion in self psychology and his desire to respect candidates as adults, minimize hierarchy and shameful experiences and create an affirming environment. These values related to experiences of narcissistic injury Joe endured as a candidate at a traditional institute. The sensibility, that Joe embodied and communicated, includes an appreciation of an empathic and developmental approach, the value of creativity and culture, encouragement of generativity in candidates, and enthusiasm in teaching and supervision within an intersubjective perspective. The author’s long experience with Joe, initially as a Founding Member of ICP+P and ultimately as the longstanding Chair of the Psychoanalytic Training Program, as well as her own experience going through psychoanalytic training, informed her vision and values as a leader.
